The Velvet Fist and the Iron Glove

"He-Hey man, can you spare a quarter?" a man of some questionable cleanliness asked ICER as he walked down the street. The man's long blonde hair was a tangled mess and his breath reeked of Boo Koo energy drink and power bars, causing ICER to instantly cringe away. He wore a tattered uniform covered by what could only be described as the remains of a white trench coat, but that would be hard to believe by looking at it.
"Ya...you aint got nuthin?" He said after ICER tried to speed up. "Thats okay man, thats okay. God bless you anyways. I hope i didn't scare you or nuthin. I...I ain't no bum or nuthin. I used to have a company too ya know? No...no. Really! I did. It was called Third Wave Industries.
ICER's eyes lit up and he studied the man who looked much older than he probably was.
"Yeah. We designed weapons...and and...'mechs. You ever seen a 'mech? Yeah, we designed some. Sales were good too. But...but, then we, my chief assistant and I, his name was ICER...we started butting bubble blowers on...on instead of lasers, ya see? Now, heh. It was a great idea cause it would keep the 'mechs in perfect showroom condition...even, even in battle! But, well, I'm sure you read about it in the news. The bubbles were such a success...that we decided the company would go public. We sold stock. What a bad idea that was, eh buddy? Yeah, little did I know my ancient enemy BOIL bought up all the stock and, they turned my company into a bubble's only company. They drove me out of the office and I wound up down town working as a musician. I was on my way to a gig, but I needed a quarter to ride the bus."

ICER just starred at the mess of a musician Talen had become...

TALEN!!!!!!!, my old boss and best bud....welcome to the board. so glad to see you. You haven't been around Mordel's and I was afraid you got lost in the crowd. how the heck are you?

[talentseng]

I'm pretty good actually. Yeah, I haven't been to Mordel's much lately. Since i stopped playing Battletech there hasnt been much reason for me to check up as often. I'm still floating around out here though. How are you?

things are going well. I took a leave of absents from btech to take care of real life issues. But those issues are over and now I'm ready to get back into btech

[talentseng]

Glad to hear the real life issues are calming down. They always mess with a good game.

I myself have finally decided on my path and am taking the first few steps on it. So, hopefully I will have time to devote to the gauss rifles and fusion engines again in the future. I even have some people around here to play with should it come up!

have you ever tried MegaMek? it's a great Btech sim that mimics the board game almost to a T
